A few days later, inside the Summer Palace.
Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair, and standing below was Yelu Renxian, the envoy of the Liao State Ruyang, Yelu Renxian, who respectfully saluted Li Liangzuo and said, "Foreign Minister Yelu Ren first greeted Emperor Xia." ” "The Liao envoy came this time to discuss peace with me," Li Liangzuo asked Yeluren bluntly.
"Emperor Xia is decided, exactly."
Jeruren said first; "My Liao State was completely coerced by the Great Song Dynasty to offend His Majesty's Tianwei, and now our Liao army has all retreated to the territory of my Liao State, and I also ask Emperor Xia to let go of Liao State for the sake of good neighborliness and friendship between the two countries, and my Liao State will definitely take the Great Xia Empire as the head from now on; In order to show the sincerity of our Liao State, His Majesty is willing to pay tribute, cede land, and pay compensation to Emperor Xia. ” "Okay, I will agree for the sake of Emperor Liao's sincerity, but I will ask the Liao envoy to negotiate with my envoy of the Executive Yuan."
"Wechen obeys."
Zhou Wentai exhibited and said.
"The foreign minister has a reluctant request, I want you to meet Concubine De, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it."
Yeluren said first.
"I'm right, how can I say that this Concubine De is also the princess of the Liao Kingdom, and let my six princes also meet with me when the time comes."
Li Liangzuo said with a smile.
"Thank you Emperor Xia" After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xiao Zhuozi asked Li Liangzuo in confusion: "Your Majesty, you have agreed to negotiate peace with the Liao State, why does this Liao envoy still have to meet Concubine De Niangniang?"
Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "Then you won't move, Liao Guo is playing his own little abacus, Ye Luren wants to see Concubine De first to prepare for Liao Guo's next move." ” "The next move, Your Majesty means, the Liao army will also start a war with my Great Xia Empire."
"Of course the Liao State wants to go to war, but this time the target of the war is not us, but the Great Song Dynasty."
"Da Song, what does this have to do with Da Song" Xiao Zhuozi asked puzzled.
Li Liangzuo explained to Xiao Zhuozi as he walked: "The Liao State followed the Great Song Dynasty to fight with our Great Xia Empire this time, not only did it not gain any benefits, but it also had to cede land and pay compensation, do you think the Liao State can be willing to defeat my Great Xia Empire, can't it still beat the Song Army?"
"Your Majesty means that the Liao State wants to attack the Great Song Dynasty, but now the Great Song Dynasty has ceded the Zhending Mansion and the Hejian Mansion to my Great Xia Empire, and the Liao State does not border the Great Song Dynasty at all, how can this attack the Great Song Dynasty?"
"Isn't there a way to fight a war without bordering?"
Li Liangzuo laughed; "At the beginning, Goryeo didn't border with my Great Xia Empire, didn't you let me clean it up, Yelu Renxian met Concubine De this time, in order to let Concubine De blow the wind in my ears, and let me lend the way to the Liao army, so that it could attack the Song Dynasty and get some benefits from the Great Song Dynasty."
"Then isn't Your Majesty going to help Da Song," said Xiao Zhuozi; "We just negotiated peace with Da Song."
"Why do I want to help Da Song, does this have anything to do with me" Li Liangzuo shrugged his shoulders and said meaningfully; "But you can't let the Liao State weaken the Great Song Dynasty too much, and you can't let the Liao State eat too fat."
For Li Liangzuo, the current Liao State is a piece of meat in his mouth, and now this piece of meat can't be swallowed, but he can't spit it out, and if it weren't for Li Liangzuo's heartache, the losses of the Xia army were too huge, and he would have sent troops to destroy the Liao State a long time ago, and there was still a need for the Liao State to come and ask for peace Negotiations between the Liao and Bactrian empires went smoothly, and two days later a new Xingqing contract was signed, which read as follows: First: The Liao State admitted its defeat, and the Liao Emperor apologized to the Xia Emperor.
Second: The Liao State compensated the Xia army for military expenses of 100,000 taels of gold, 5 million taels of silver, 50,000 fine war horses, 50,000 cattle and sheep, and 50,000 furs.
Third: The Liao State ceded Huairou, Luxian, and the west of Anci to the Bactrian Empire; These include Xijin Mansion, Juyong Pass, Feihu Pass, Changping, Zhuozhou, Yizhou and other places.
Fourth: The Liao State paid an annual tribute of 10,000 taels of gold, 500,000 taels of silver, 10,000 fine war horses, 10,000 cattle and sheep, and 10,000 furs to the Great Xia Empire.
Fifth: The contract shall come into force from the date of signing.
As soon as the Xingqing contract was signed, it was a very heavy blow to the Liao State, a small half of the grain producing areas of the Liao State were assigned to the Great Xia Empire, and since then the Nanjing Road of the Liao State has been no longer in danger to defend, and the capital of the Liao State has been forced to move from Xijin Mansion to Zhongjing Dading Mansion again; And because the Liao State has been vigorously expanding its army over the years, and with the consumption of this war, it can't even get the compensation money.
On the day of the signing of the Xingqing contract, Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, Li Wu, the king of Qin, and Li Bingchang, the acting king, all returned to Xingqing Mansion, and the three of them met Li Liangzuo for the first time after they returned.
In addition, there are three people: Zhou Wentai, envoy of the Executive Yuan, Yang Shousu, deputy military envoy, and Zhou Shengcai, secretary of finance.
"It's all here, I'm calling you all today, I have something to announce."
Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair and said; "First of all, Zhou Aiqing's peace with the Liao State this time has limited benefits for my Great Xia Empire, but the contract has been signed, and we can't break the contract, but someone must bear this matter."
Zhou Wentai thought to himself: "It's finally here, I didn't expect Your Majesty to wait here."
"Weichen knows his mistake, please ask Your Majesty to condemn him."
Zhou Wentai knelt on the ground and said.
"Become a fair country," Li Liangzuo said; "It's not a big mistake, I won't dig into it."
Li Liangzuo glanced at Zhou Wentai and continued: "From now on, I have decided to make a change to the Executive Yuan, with the expansion of the territory of my Great Xia Empire, the burden on Chengguo Gong is getting heavier and heavier, and many things are inevitably a little negligent; Therefore, I decided to set up a left and right executive envoy in the Executive Yuan; With the left as the principal and the right as the deputy, the two perform their respective duties and jointly assist me in governing the government; The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, listened to the order. ” "Wechen obeys."
Li Xiaoren knelt on the ground and said.
"Promote Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, to be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses and the envoy of the Left Executive Yuan."
"Weichen commands, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Chengguo Gong Zhou Wentai is the right administrative envoy."
"We're Commanding" Li Liangzuo's personnel change can be said to have surprised many people, especially Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, first of all, Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, is the head of the kings, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and now he has been promoted to the left administrative envoy; His position is equivalent to today's official position, which is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the three armies, which is a combination of military and political power, and a position of power above 10,000 people under one person, and the entire Great Xia Empire except for Li Liangzuo, that is, Li Xiaoren has the final say.
"Yang Shousu obeys."
"Wechen is here."
"Ordered Yang Shousu to be the protector of the capital of Andong, and went to the border with Gao Wei after he withdrew his troops back to the suburbs of Lejiao, and ordered Gao Wei to let him return to the court."
"We're in command."
For Yang Shousu, although he was transferred from the central government to the locality, his position has dropped on the surface, but from the current point of view, his rights have actually increased, Yang Shousu used to serve as the deputy military envoy, although he exercised the rights of the military envoy, but now the Military Affairs Yuan has no right to mobilize any army, and its main task is to ensure the logistics supply of the various departments of the Xia Army, in fact, it is more like the logistics equipment department of the Xia Army; Anton's protector is different, it can be a feudal official who combines military and political power in the Andong region.
